Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Relationships between stereoisomerism of lignin side chain structure and their thermal properties were examined using low molecular weight beta-O-4 type dimer (GG) and high molecular weight milled wood lignin (MWL). cis-trans Isomer ratio ([Z]/[E]) of enol-ether, which was formed by the thermal treatment in the ionic liquid (IL) and alkaline medium of GG, was changed by UV irradiation. By this photo isomerization, melting temperature of GG could be reduced. These results would indicate that the thermal properties of low molecular weight lignin could be changed by IL or alkaline treatment followed by UV irradiation. By contrast, glass transition temperature of MWL, which was similarly treated in IL, was not reduced by UV irradiation. Photo isomerization rate of MWL was much slower than that of GG. For modifying the thermal properties of high molecular weight lignin by photo isomerization, further improvement in the isomerization process is required.
